RUBBISH across the borough will not be collected until three days later than usual next week because of nationwide strikes by Unison members.

Refuse collectors in Waltham Forest will be joining in with the country-wide strike, meaning the collection on Wednesday July 17 will not go ahead as usual.

Instead, rubbish will be collected the following Saturday.

A council spokesman asked people to bear this in mind, and not put their rubbish out on the streets until Saturday July 20.
